'The mute music present in Choukini's sculptures is a challenge to the absurd canon that fatally shoots here and there to kill, without succeeding, Lebanon's soul and body, which stands like a strong and tender mountain, just like the sculptures and sculptor I have here
mentioned. After forty years of career as a sculptor, Chaouki Choukini has always remained true to himself. This man who came from Lebanon, a country of rocks and sun, always pays close attention to the sincerity of objects and shapes, sometimes giving priority to the music of the material, other times to objective representation. This ingenious balance makes each and every one of Choukini's creations quake with emotion. Choukini's sculpture reveals the poetic, yet often so tragic, strangeness of our condition.'


(Salah Stetié)


Inspired by the play of sun on stones from his native Lebanon, sculptor Chaouki Choukini creates sculptures that rely on the effects of light and its interplay with blocks of wood or bronze. In this impressive and complex bronze sculpture, Choukini uses abstract representation to call attention to the suffering of the children in Gaza. Child of Gaza features buckles that symbolically link its individual elements, highlighting the fragmentation of children's lives and, almost literally, their bodies due to malnourishment. Choukini's sculptures are powerful artistic platforms through which the artist silently communicates these tragic sufferings and harsh realities.
